Manchester United lead the race to sign Jadon Sancho after Liverpool and Chelsea baulked at Borussia Dortmund’s asking price for the winger. The England international has been tipped to return to the Premier League this summer. United, Liverpool and Chelsea are all eyeing the 20-year-old.
However, according to the Mirror, United are increasingly confident of landing the Dortmund winger this summer.
They say United could end up paying around £120m for the former Manchester City ace.
It’s claimed Liverpool and Chelsea have baulked at Dortmund’s asking price ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Mirror add that Real Madrid and Barcelona have also been put off by Dortmund’s valuation of the England youngster.
United are ready for a busy summer transfer window, with the Red Devils also eyeing Jack Grealish and James Maddison.
And United hero Paul Ince claims Ed Woodward needs to sign two strikers and a central midfielder this summer.
“If they want to close the gap on Manchester City and Liverpool then they need a world class striker,” Ince said.
“They had the chance with Haaland, the young kid who went to Dortmund, that was sad really.
“He is a very, very good young player who can improve and you can’t let people like that slip through the net.
“That was disappointing that they couldn’t get him. They have got to have someone in who gets 20-25 goals a season.
“They need another midfield player for sure. We don’t know what happens with [Paul] Pogba if he stays or goes. That’s another saga that we will have to go through once the season finishes.
“They need two strikers, I know [Marcus] Rashford is coming back but he is only young. You can’t rely on him all the time.
“Martial, for me on his day, is brilliant but he doesn’t have enough of those days. Ighalo is the wrong end of 30. He has done well but you won’t pin your hat on him for the next four years.
“If you look at all the top teams, all the best teams have the best strikers. Their strikers have 20-25 goals in a bad season.
“Manchester United lost that in [Romelu] Lukaku. That’s got to be their main aim.”
